Family student visa package for a master of IT

[Applicant A], an Indian national, had been living in Australia on a student visa while completing a bachelor of information technology, finishing with strong marks. He received an offer from a New Zealand university for a master of information technology starting in 2026 and wanted to move with his wife and young son. He asked us to handle three applications together: his study visa, his wife’s partner work visa, and his son’s dependent study visa.

We prepared one detailed letter covering all three applications, with the offer of place, the tuition and living costs, and a full set of financial evidence. We matched each source of money to documents and to supporting letters from family, including a sponsor and his spouse who jointly held the account. We disclosed the old Australian refusal openly, explaining what it was about and pointing to his clean visa history since. For the partner application we set out the couple’s long marriage with concrete, real-life detail, and the son’s application was coordinated alongside.

The three-part family package was lodged together with a full set of evidence, timed for the family to be in New Zealand for the start of study. Immigration New Zealand was satisfied and the student visa was granted.

When someone applies from a third country, the genuine-reasons test looks at ties both to where they live now and to their home country, so both should be shown. Any earlier refusal, even an old one, is best disclosed openly with a clear explanation of how it was resolved. And where funds come from several sources, matching each amount to a document and a supporting letter heads off later questions about where the money came from.
